About Tanya

Tanya L. Tibby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida who draws on two decades of clinical and leadership experience to support people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with humanistic, narrative, and strength-based perspectives to create individualized plans for concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, career transitions, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her style is described as warm and relaxed, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Tanya adapts conversations and treatment strategies to each person’s unique needs, incorporating solution-focused ideas and motivational elements when helpful. She also works with issues related to addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mood and life-change concerns.

Currently she offers sessions to existing or previously seen clients in Florida by appointment, and requests that prospective clients message to arrange a consultation via messaging to determine next steps. Tanya communicates in English and brings practical, client-centered guidance rooted in long-term clinical experience.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change patterns that contribute to distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns that shape how people connect with others and can help address issues around trust, communication, and intimacy.

Tanya approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients explore which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they consider symptoms, life circumstances, and personal preferences to tailor a plan rather than relying on a single technique. This process is iterative, with adjustments made as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing work to continue when in-person meetings are impractical. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across different settings while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
